By Mohammad H. R. Talukdar. A woman enters a child's life first as a mother and in her womb, the child grows and emerges as a life in this world. The mother nurses and admittedly gives the primary lesson to her child in her lap, which is the first academy for us all. The mother imbued with faith is likely to rear a child of faith in the community and society; and by all this that precedes or follows, the child's and society's paradise are placed at the feet of the mother. This book details the lives of ten great women of Al-Islam who are models for emancipated women globally. A S Noordeen (2004), English, 256 pages.
